According to
ELAN Home Systems Brand Manager Robert Ridenour, the announcement of the new
software update, in addition to bringing critically important new functionality
to market, comes less than one month after the company began delivering its
g!6.0 software and underscores the speed of product enhancements that are now
underway at ELAN.
“With sales
of the ELAN g! System hitting critical mass around the world, we are dedicated
to accelerating the pace of software development that will ensure that the ELAN
g! system remains the easiest to install, use, and update entertainment and
control system available from any manufacturer,” Ridenour said today.
According to
Ridenour, the new ELAN g!6.2 Software Update features a host of new features
including support for true global weather forecasting that will allow g!
customers in every part of the world to access and display weather forecasts for their geographic area.
What’s more, the g!6.2 software will allow dealers to program specific
automation trigger events based on the local forecast, including, but not
limited to, temperature, humidity, wind, and weather alerts for automation of
things like motorized window shutters and shades, internal climate set points
and distribution of email alerts to the homeowner, among others.
“Automating
the home via weather information is something that few other manufacturers can
accomplish and this adds a great new feature set for ELAN g! integrators,”
commented Ridenour.
The new ELAN
g!6.2 Software Update also provides support for a host of new drivers,
including manufacturers like Rako Lighting, Cool Master, and Clipsal Lighting,
among others. In addition, the new
update delivers an improved dealer- programming interface that further shortens
the time required to program a g! system.
“Over the
last year the international appeal of the ELAN g! system has grown
significantly, in no small part due to the introduction of KNX support, Chinese
language support, support of international streaming content and Android
support,” Ridenour stressed. “Today’s
announcement will serve to strengthen g!’s international appeal that much
further. We look forward to a very
exciting ISE 2013.”
